Satisfactory Mod Manager thinks that Satisfactory is running. It isn't, promise! Checked the task manager as well for any Satisfactory processes hiding, found none.

Mod updates / installation fail saying the game is running
There's a grey "Game is running" text at the bottom

Versions:

SMM 2.1.2
Satisfactory Steam Experimental CL125236 (as detected by SMM)
SML 2.2.1

Attaching freshly generated debug log. SMMDebug_2020-7-26_17-4-28.zip

SMM runs tasklist or wmic process to find if there are any FactoryGame-Win64-Shipping.exe running. If Windows says there are, SMM will assume it is right. Next time it happens, send the output of wmic process where name="FactoryGame-Win64-Shipping.exe", maybe the process is terminated but not responding or something

Good to know, thank you. That should also make it fairly easy to forcefully kill the offending process. Meanwhile I had to reboot, and SMM now (unsurprisingly) does not think that Satisfactory is running. Thank you for the response, I think we can consider this resolved for the moment.
